Default DAS overflow set up

I'm trying to decide what I want in my overflow box; right now it has 1 piece of small live rock in the inflow box and a mj900 in the outflow box but it's putting out bubbles from the skimmer right next to it. If I put the mj in one of the big long black cyclindar/sponge things, will that keep the bubbles out of the mj flow? Right now, I am working on getting more lr and the small pieces will go into part of the overflow box for the bacteria colony but i don't want anymore bubbles going thru my tank! Will my plan work well?

Thanks!
Dana

P.S. I do not have a sump, just the overflow system and also a red sea berlin hanging protein skimmer. Set up has been running 5 weeks and is looking good so far, just passing the brown algae phase, yay!

Checkout marc's hidden treasures on how to make your own sump for your 50 gal. You can then put your skimmer, heater, etc. in there.
